A Clam as ; Rat-Catcbcr.

Eugene Acker, of Danbury, keeps res
taurant and has been trying to keep CLANS.
But these disappeared. The other day he
noticed a rat-hole and clam sticking at
its entrance, and this partially relieved his
mind, for he had fancy that rats could
be cleared out and thus the CLAIMS would
be safe. Then he tried TO kick this par
ticular clam away from the hole, but IL did
not move easily. When be examined it he
found the clam had caught rat that had
injudiciously thrust its tail between the
opened shells and had been promptly
nipped. The rat-catching had begun
sooner than Mr.. Acker had anticiDated.

the prisoner. who would flush now ard then
as some damaging point of evidence was
called to the attention of the jury by the
prosecuting attorney. The jury retired to
